| 1483730 | 2022-01-21 04:00:00 | www.youtube.com Interesting vid of an American who returned home to San Fransisco ,for a visit , after 2 years overseas. The inner city is now like a ghost town . Most shops shut & bordered up, once busy commuter trains now empty He mentions that covid has split the country in 2 , extremists on both sides dividing everyone . Most stupid thing was San Fran local govt decided to mandate not prosecuting anyone caught shoplifting less than US$1000 value. The shoplifters know they will never get procescuted & cops will not even show up . Another nail in the coffin for their shops Do you think this is the way NZ, or Ak is heading ? CBD's empty . Public transport empty . Crime just accepted & left unpunished . |

San Francisco is a nice place to live . . . . . The problem is that housing is extremely expensive here . A low-end house costs over a million dollars . If you rent you are looking at over 3k a month for a two-bedroom apartment and you will probably need first and last month’s rent plus a security deposit to get the lease . I do know some low-income people who live comfortably in San Francisco, they either own homes that they bought decades ago, or have section eight housing, I have one friend who lives in a two-bedroom apartment . A new landlord bought the place about five years ago . He has been trying to get her to leave for the past five years, and she is now the last holdout . She pays $1400 a month and he could rent the apartments out for over 3K a month . He wants to sell them as tenants in common or condominiums for over a million apiece . Then there are the homeless who are legion in San Francisco . I have a Face Book friend who was homeless for two years before he finally got subsidized housing . There are lots of nice things in San Francisco, tons of good restaurants, museums, concerts, Goldern Gate Park, the Legon of Honor, Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf, etc . But if you are coming here from elsewhere and want to live comfortably, I suggest that you have a job that pays at least 100K a year . LOL< sounds like most of NZ |
